How your support helps
For the first time in the short history of Aotearoa’s international education sector, no generic industry funding is available to support supply-side services. Canada’s and Australia’s post-pandemic industries hit the speed wobbles, and jurisdictions in both countries moved to cap international student numbers. The sector in Aotearoa is at a critical juncture. By ‘mucking in’ together, we are better equipped to serve the unique adjustment needs of all cross-border learners.
Your membership helps sustain a strong, informed, and connected professional community dedicated to international learner success, the availability of specialised professional development, and independent advocacy for cross-border learners.
We look forward to welcoming you (and your institution) into ISANA NZ’s community of practice.
